	Rune (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rune is a computer game, made by Human Head Studios.
		It is a game of spatial orientation, in which opponents maneuver around each other, feinting and swinging in and out of range and attempting to score hits on each other.
		Rune power: vampyric attack that adds life to the user when an enemy is hit.

	Game Studies - Perspectives of Computer Game Philology
		While it seems obvious that computer games fall into the category of games, which is notoriously hard to define, many of them transcend this category by virtue of their ability to tell a story.
		Jesper Juul’s thesis "A Clash between Game and Narrative" (1999), in which he analyzes narrative and interactive traits of computer games and interactive fiction, is a case in point: while narrativity might be an important characteristic of certain literary genres, it is definitely of little use in determining the "literariness" of a given text.
		In relation to games this means that a player does not necessarily gain access to the implicit rules of the game through playing, but that he or she will find a way to interact meaningfully with the game, no matter what the actual rules encoded by its designers are.

	the cutscene is an essential part of a game’s rhetorical and intertextual address to the player, a dimension of ...
		This counter-establishment ideology of gaming, partly rooted in the dark arcades of the late 70’s and early 80’s, partly rooted in hacker culture, is instinctively sanctioned by a new breed of oppositional scholars, vaguely identifying mainstream players and mainstream commercial games with established theory.
		Similarly, in a computer game, the cybernetic feedback loop between the player and the computer is also a representation of an action in a fictional world.
		The game event has a double function: it is both configurative and representational, operating on the material level as well as on the semantic level, referring to the machine (the toy) as well as to the fictional world.

		Abstract games are games that discard the narrative in favour of the procedural.
		However, the fact that the ideological potential of a computer game is radically restricted by the reductionistic logic of a simulation, does not imply that a procedural representation is ideologically uninteresting.
		Computer game aesthetics is a paradigmatic expression of the digital computer as a representational and procedural technology.

		A good portion of Rune is written with the assumption that not only are the readers new to role-playing (an assumption most RPGs start with, just in case), but also that they are more familiar with computer game concepts than "off line" concepts.
		Competitiveness, a holdover from the computer game, is at the core of Rune.
		Role-players who try Rune should approach it with the proper frame of mind: that Rune is the computer game without the computer.

	On the Aesthetics of Computer Games
		Games like Sid Meyer's Civilization has shown us that not only can entertaining games have good storylines, they can even be enlightening and convey truths about the real world.
		Computer games are by nature interactive, and it is not easy to interact with a fact that is either true or false.
		The technology is open to a new type of games, games which will not only appeal to existing game players, they are going to attract a new group of people.

	GameSlice: Behind the Scenes of the Computer and Video Game Industry
		Drawing from Norse and Viking mythology, Rune is poised to become both a compelling story to play through and also an addictive deathmatch experience with hand-to-hand combat using a big axe or the broadsword.
		Project manager Gerritsen enjoys the interaction with the gods and what they add to the game: “These gods have the same petty foibles that man have, so they are always bickering and fighting and have their own plots and schemes.
		While Rune may easily be pegged as yet another third-person-shooter, its rich storyline and melee style of combat are apt to differentiate it from the pack of action games currently on the market.

		Incidentally we did probe on this and from what we understand the game was pulled simply because it wouldn't make a next-gen console release and Blizzard are trying to stay at the cutting edge with all titles.
		As you might guess from the title, it talks about some upcoming games he's interested in, and much to his surprise, none of them are from Blizzard.

		I like to read reviews, especially from the publications to which I subscribe, PC Gamer, Computer Games, and Computer Gaming World.
		If you don't know the specs on your system enough to be able to buy a game, don't buy any games until you find out, because that's a really stupid thing to do.
